Each Zoom session will be 90 minutes in length: the first 45 minutes will be a group discussion (plenary) to layout the area to be covered. For this, the invited cohort of approximately 50 percussionists will be &#8220;muted.&#8221; Then, for 45 minutes, we will break out into discussions using the Breakout Room function on Zoom, in which a dozen or so participants will join a single panelist for a follow-up conversation. Here the goal is a personal interaction between participants and panelists. The hosts and panelists will be available for follow-up communication for up to a week afterward for continued dialogue. Longer-term mentoring relationships are encouraged but should develop organically.<\/p>\n<p>Plenary sessions will be recorded and posted; the breakout sessions will be private.<br \/>\nThere is no charge to participants nor any payment to the panelists.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/music\/\">Learn More About the Music Program Here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kd7sp0a5-338c2cd897861330fe93ccfbf66c96f2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Application Deadline: August 15th<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-kd7ud1gg-0d96122e44b75a012d8fc87767418322-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr '><a href="https:\/\/forms.gle\/WLAtSNk4JNb6YB4J6"  class='avia-button av-kd7ud1gg-0d96122e44b75a012d8fc87767418322 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"APPLY HERE\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >APPLY HERE<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-sejfly-87411823dcf9690099c02d645a400ad0\">\n#top .hr.av-sejfly-87411823dcf9690099c02d645a400ad0{\nmargin-top:20px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-sejfly-87411823dcf9690099c02d645a400ad0 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-sejfly-87411823dcf9690099c02d645a400ad0 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_heading  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:28px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:28px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-b1931c6a3658af399b278e5410650fe8 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock  top-30 av-inherit-size av-linked-heading'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Sessions:<\/h3><div class='av-subheading av-subheading_below'><p>All panels will be hosted by Aiyun Huang and Steven Schick at 5 pm PST\/8 pm EST.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kd7vy5fy-6511a5780dfb299702035c70d5eb36c6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>September 23, 2020<br \/>\n<span class=\"heavy-man\">\u201cPracticing Percussion\u201d<\/span><br \/>\nWhat are the building blocks of a percussion practice?
